Fleming House

Fleming House is a superb traditional Victorian cottage nestled in the centre of Cowes, and is an ideal base for a family looking for a getaway to the coast on the Isle of Wight.

Renovated to a high standard, this delightful abode offers a stylish and contemporary base with a lovely light decor, whilst still retaining some of its period wooden flooring.

Be welcomed into a sitting area with pretty bay windows and a characterful open fire to warm your feet beside as you plan the day ahead of you, and there is also the option of a quieter snug, ideal for catching up on a good book.

When mealtimes call, head over to the kitchen/diner, a contemporary space with ample amenities to cater to your culinary needs, and a large dining table where guests can indulge in a hearty meal, complemented by a glass of fizz.

From here, access the rear garden through the patio doors and dine alfresco in the sunshine as you reflect on the day’s adventures.

When sleep calls, freshen up in the sleek, ground-floor shower room, before making your way upstairs to cosy down for the night in one of the three bedrooms.

Choose between a super-king-size with delightful furnishings and storage, a twin, and a twin room with bunk and single bed, and there is also a bathroom on this floor.
